#Newsfail is a humorous look at the most important issues facing America and the World today. From the media to climate change, to gun control, to feminism, and back, the authors, Jamie Kilstein, a political stand-up comedian, and his wife, the journalist and writer Allison Kilkenny, who together host the political news podcast Citizen Radio (CR), tackle all these issues and more from a progressive perspective.
The mainstream media comes in for particular scorn, not only the obvious target of Fox News on the right, but also e.g. MSNBC on the left, which they deride as having become the Fox News of the left, often blindly endorsing President Barack Obama’s and the Democratic Party’s policies despite their follies. The authors make the case that only independent grass-roots media such as CR, Democracy Now!, Bill Moyers, and others can save democracy and our broken politics.
